Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We got placed into a different seat each week - with one being in Glasgow and the other one in Edinburgh. Our day-to-day consisted in doing work assigned to us by our buddies or supervisors. We often had arranged lunches where we would learn more about the firm.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very useful - and really made me want to work for the firm in the future.
